from the press association:

We will not be staffing for pictures the fa cup game on saturday between southampton and portsmouth after the home club required us to agree not to supply any photographs from the fixture to the southern daily echo. Press association considers such a restriction unacceptable.

 

So the feud continues... Forget the rights and wrongs, it's absurd at a time like this...

source?

No, anyone of any age can go in the family enclosure even if they don't have kids with them. Just be warned, watching a football match in the Chapel stand with loads of kids would be my idea of a nightmare! :D

 

Didn't know when booked they were in there but it's that or not watching it!!

Pardew’s prematch speech: (borrowing just a tad from King Henry V’s rallying cry to his troops before the battle of Agincourt)

 

This day is called the eve of Valentine.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,

And rouse him at the name of Valentine.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say 'To-morrow is Saint Valentine.'

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say 'These wounds I had on Valentine's day.'

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,

But he'll remember, with advantages,

What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words-

Lambert the King, Davis and Harding,

Antonio and Lallana, Thomas and Papa Waigo-

Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Saint Valentine’s shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he today that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhood’s cheap whilst any speaks

That fought with us on the eve of Valentine's day.

 

MARCH IN YOU SAINTS!

This gentleman now a-bed in England is accursed with Norovirus. However I shall not be holding my manhood cheap tomorrow, but will stagger in - with cork if necessary - to take my seat.

 

So if you see some big bloke sitting a bit quieter than usual, give him a wide berth, some sympathy and a cheer. He'll have just shaken the hand of every P*mpey player as they got off the team bus.

Got my hands on a ticket today, and I'm so bloody excited! This'll be the first derby I've been to.

 

Also, I've heard that Utaka and Boateng are injured for the match, which is good news if true. We just need Thomas to give Dindane a hard kick when the officials backs are turned now! ;)

 

COYR!

If Dindane is allowed to play that is, Lens are thinking of recalling him as they haven't had any money for him despite Pompey taking up the 4 million transfer option included in the loan agreement. Anyway he's pretty useless.

Might get a few blank faces in the dressing room, but it's an option nontheless!

Hopefully one day the two factions will get back together.....Would hope this happens sooner than later......May well need Mr Murray to go to the club as I can't see the club chasing after The Echo......

 

 

As far as The press association goes...I am unable to find any evidence on their site or any other press releases stating your info to be correct..

 

Maybe you have info or a source or point me to any such statement from The Press Association..

 

Just curious...;)

The Press Association, I'd imagine.

 

 

I have enquired with several points of call at The press association and other press contacts...At this minute I am unable to find any such press release or info showing The Press Association are associated with such statement...

 

Out of curiosity..hoping fez is able to enlighten us.....More a story for the echo peeps....Although if true..The FA and sponsors would not be best pleased regarding this matter.

 

If the statement is out there it will turn up soon.....I am sure Mr Murray would like more publicity....:rolleyes:

As I said before it's not a public statement but a non-for-publication alert to picture and sports editors that went out at 10.53 this morning. I really can't say any more...

I am starting to feel a little nauseous at the thought of tomorrows match due to (a) excitement... (b) remembering the stench they create © even remotely contemplating a win for us. I think I might actually blub if we win! (-; Have to say though I don't think we'll win as they'll be too much for us in the end. Probably 1-2 to them until 85 mins ... we'll leave ourselves open and they'll hit us on the break to leave it 1-3. It will be a sad loss in some respects, but on the other hand a great day out taking the pee out of Pimpley.

look at the rascist and filthy comments the skates are saying about southampton, http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=424&fid=203&sty=2&act=1&mid=2122831247

 

It is natural law, I suppose we have many amongst us who were not born in God's own city,to them there is no inbred animosity. To put on the red and white for the first time is to accept the condition that them down the road are outcasts and pariahs, to them I suppose it's the same thing...only they're deluded.

What I wanna know is, what's all this talk of pony sh*gging? Is it just a lame comeback for the factual fish insult? Or is there more to it?

 

Confused.

 

Once again it is enrooted in history, it's to do with our proximity to the New Forest. The Scummer insult is historically based, the pony sha*ging probably not so much.Once again it's just something you believe (well not really) when you don the colours, like Gravity and Mars being Red suppose.
